Chapter 4 Zhen Gu's Return
Liao Wanwen was already waiting for Wu Zhiyou to take off her coat at this time, but she just glanced at Liao Wanyu lightly, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”
Liao Wanyu did not hide her joy, and folded her hands to worship the Bodhisattva and bowed a few times to Liao Wanwen and Wu Zhiyou, "Thank you, fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, I'm leaving, fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, good night." ”
Seeing Liao Wanyu's back, Liao Wanwen couldn't help but "snort" again.
"It's just a pair of shoes, and the family still needs a little money, so I will send it away in the future, and it will be an eyesore."
Liao Wanwen thought about it and felt that her husband was right, so she nodded, "I'll go and put water for you, take a bath first, and I'll let someone send decanting soup when you come out." ”
Wu Zhiyou nodded, watched his wife walk in the direction of the bathroom, his eyes involuntarily moved to the door where Liao Wanyu left, and looked thoughtfully for a long time.
Liao Wanwen's promise today can be regarded as happy, in fact, it may be more appropriate to say that it is from Wu Zhiyou's consent. If Wu Zhiyou hadn't come back, maybe Liao Wanwen would have embarrassed her for a long time.
Holding the new shoes taken from the warehouse in her arms, Liao Wanyu walked in the bright autumn night, the skirt of the homespun cheongsam was blown up by the wind, she felt a little cold, hugged the cloth shoes in her arms, and trotted back to the miscellaneous building.
According to the meaning of the eldest lady, their mother is a white-eyed wolf, and it stands to reason that they should be driven out, but because they are the blood of the master, it really doesn't look like they are outside, so they moved to the miscellaneous building to live, and the monthly money in the future is naturally gone, as for the school and those painting, art classes and the like, they have also stopped.
In the first few days of not having to go to school, Liao Xi was quite happy, he thought that he had finally gotten rid of the teacher and homework, but it was less than half a month, and he was so bored that he couldn't sit still for a moment.
No, Liao Wanyu turned out of the stone path and saw Liao Xi standing in the open space in front of the miscellaneous building, dragging his limp and walking around.
"It's so late, why are you still coming out!" She ran to her brother and helped him to the stairs of the miscellaneous building, "Why don't you take the staff?" ”
Liao Xi stubbornly raised his head and looked at his sister, "I won't use a cane in the future, I want to practice by myself, as long as I practice a lot, I will definitely be able to walk well!" ”
Liao Wanyu smiled slightly when she heard his words, and didn't want to destroy his beautiful fantasy about the future, she rubbed her brother's head with her hand that didn't hold shoes, "Look, my sister asked you a new pair of shoes." ”
Looking at the black cloth shoes in Liao Wanyu's hand, Liao Xi staggered and didn't speak, his small mouth was tightly pursed, and his face gradually turned red, "I...... I don't. I'm used to it...... Later...... In the future, we will wait for the distribution with you every quarter...... Don't you ...... You ......"
Although Liao Xi is not very old, he can still understand the sophistication of the world, they used to be the young master, and now they all say that Grandma poisoned Abba Abba , and their lives are naturally different from the past.
He has seen his sister many times when she is embarrassed, he feels sorry for his sister, and he doesn't want his sister to beg for help because of himself in the future.
"Out of the way." Liao Wanyu asked her younger brother to sit on the steps at the door of the miscellaneous building, took off his shoes for him, and wiped his little feet with his sleeves and hands, and then put on his new shoes, "It's not too early, you have to go to bed quickly." ”
Liao Xi nodded obediently, and then followed his sister back to the room. They now live on the top floor of the Miscellaneous Building, the westernmost room to the north. It's still autumn now, but when winter comes, it's the coldest and dampest room in the entire Miscellaneous Building.
Simply wiped Liao Xi's face, Liao Wanyu coaxed him to sleep, and then sat in the dark for a while, Liao Wanyu herself fell asleep in a daze, until she was woken up by her brother who kept turning over and had a fever that was talking nonsense.
"Little Buck?" Liao Wanyu got up from the bed by the little moonlight that came in from the edge of the curtain, she touched the match on the table and struck it with a "bang", lit half of the candle, and then went back to the bed to look at her brother.
The quilt had been kicked aside by Liao Xi, his immature little face was showing an abnormal flush, and his brows were frowning tightly because of discomfort.
"Little Buck?" Liao Wanyu reached out and touched Liao Xi's forehead, and was shocked by the high temperature on his forehead.
If it wasn't dawn today, everyone was still asleep, Liao Wanyu didn't dare to disturb the others, but just lightly took a basin of cold water, and prayed silently, hoping that the towel soaked in cold water could help her brother reduce his fever.
It's a pity that she changed the cold towel without sleep, and until dawn, Liao Xi still had a high fever, and she was really confused.
If it turned out that Liao Xi was a little uncomfortable, Master Liao would also call the family doctor of the Liao family to come and take a look, it would naturally be needless to say during the day, even in the middle of the night, then Doctor Fu would also be on call.
But now that they don't have this kind of treatment, Liao Xi's illness naturally has to rely on Liao Wanyu to figure out a way by herself.
Thinking about the money for the doctor, Liao Wanyu looked at her uncomfortable brother on the bed, she gritted her teeth and took out a wooden box from the cabinet, which was all left behind after You Shi's death, and now there is still only one way to change money.
###
Liao Wanyu led the doctor into the courtyard from the corner gate, and faintly noticed something different.
Because of the death of Master Liao, the Liao family hung mourning cloths everywhere, and the bright things in the house were all collected into the warehouse.
But at this time, Liao Wanyu didn't have time to think about it, she politely urged the doctor to go faster all the way, so she finally saw Liao Xi staggering, and when she saw her brother's uncomfortable appearance, her heart tugged again.
This doctor is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and after seeing the illness, he prescribed a prescription to Liao Wanyu, instructed Liao Wanyu how to suffer, received the money and left.
Liao Wanyu sent the doctor out of the door, and she went to the medicine shop again, but unfortunately she was stopped when she entered the courtyard with three packets of medicine.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Five?"
Liao Wanwei played cards all night yesterday, and when she just came back, it was her personal girl Baixiang who stopped Liao Wanyu.
Seeing Liao Wanwei get out of the car, Liao Wanyu bowed respectfully and said hello, "Second sister, morning." ”
Liao Wanwei snorted a syllable similar to "um" from her nose, "What are you taking?" Her voice was languid, a tired look after an all-nighter.
Liao Wanyu took a few steps forward, that Baixiang was usually a bad mouth, and at this time, seeing that Liao Wanyu was about to come to her, she suddenly stretched out a foot and tripped her to the ground.
"Yo, fifth sister, this is not a New Year's Day, why do you see me with such a big gift?" Looking at Liao Wanyu's embarrassed appearance, Liao Wanwei laughed, "It's a pity, I lost money playing cards today, and I don't have a red envelope for you right now." ”
Getting up from the ground, Liao Wanyu found that her knees, elbows, and palms were all broken, and Baixiang on the side was looking at her innocently.
At such an instant, Liao Wanyu suddenly felt that she was living too wronged, she was originally the fifth lady of the Liao family, and her younger brother was the only male in the Liao family, but now she actually fell to the point where even a subordinate could bully her.
Liao Wanyu squatted down silently and picked up the medicinal herbs that had been spilled on the ground because of the fall, but Liao Wanwei said "oops", and then said unhappily: "These are new shoes that I bought only the day before yesterday!" ”
There were a few pieces of medicinal herbs scattered on the upper of the white high-heeled leather shoes, along with some dirt on the ground.
Hurriedly dropped the medicinal herbs in his hand and stood up straight, Liao Wanyu said sorry on her lips, and Baixiang let out a big "sigh", "What's the use of you just apologizing?" ”
Liao Wanyu lowered her head, her face was dark in the shadows of the sun, her hands at her side were clenched into fists tightly, and her nails seemed to tear out her palms.
"I talked to you, you didn't hear me!" Seeing that she didn't react, Baixiang reached out and was about to pull Liao Wanyu's sleeve.
Taking a deep breath, Liao Wanyu squatted down before Baixiang touched her, she clutched her sleeves to shine Liao Wanwei's shoes.
Liao Wanwei hid back in disgust, "What to wipe it, your clothes are dirtier." ”
After hearing this, Liao Wanyu squatted on the ground and froze for a while, she raised her head to look at Liao Wanwei in embarrassment, "Second sister, although my clothes are not high-end, they are all clean." ”
"Who is your second sister!" She lifted it up and kicked it, and the high heels slammed into Liao Wanyu's chest.
This foot went down, Liao Wanwei was wearing high heels, and she was not standing steadily, so the strength of this foot was not particularly strong, but Liao Wanyu, who was also kicking, did not come up in one breath.
Liao Wanyu sat on the ground, unable to say a word when she was kicked, she saw Liao Wanwei supported by Baixiang, and her figure twisted towards the south building step by step, until the figure disappeared completely, and she didn't get up from the ground.
Zhen Gu stood in his study in the middle building and saw everything clearly.
He only got off the ship early this morning, although he received the news of the death of Master Liao earlier, but it was an important period for the construction of the Liao family's Nanyang Shipyard, and he could not leave him for a day.
As for the situation of the young brother of the Liao family, Zhen Gu had expected it as early as when he was in Nanyang, and now he just came back and saw such a place, which really responded to his previous thoughts.
Zhen Gu held half a cup of coffee in his hand, and saw Liao Wanyu sitting on the ground for a while before getting up, picking and packing the scattered medicinal herbs, and then disappeared into the front garden, and then returned to the desk.
Of course, Liao Wanyu didn't know that everything just now had been seen by others, she was worried about her brother's illness, took the cooking medicine from the big kitchen, and waited until she drank it around her brother and watched him gradually subside in his fever, and then she was relieved.
By this time, it was already evening.
Liao Wanyu unbuttoned her collar in the mirror, looked at her bruised chest, and her eyes were pantothenic.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
She answered, and hurriedly buckled a few openings, but the two top necklines were still loosely open, and the girls who would come to her were all girls, so they didn't have to care so much.
But as soon as the door opened, Liao Wanyu was stunned.
Table ...... Cousin? ”
Raising his hand and pinching the collar of his cheongsam, covering the thin white neck tightly, Liao Wanyu really couldn't figure it out, didn't Zhen Gu just come back? How did you get here......
